Sorbitol dehydrogenase inAnas platyrhynchos andZenaida auriculata auriculata during development

Summary

Sorbitol dehydrogenase (E.C.N.1.1.1.14) was studied in liver, kidney and gonads ofZenaida auriculata auriculata (golden pidgeon) and ofAnas platyrhynchos (creole domestic duck) from South American faunes. The specific activity of SDH increased from embryonic to adult stage and is higher in theAnas platyrhynchos tissues. The electrophoretic studies performed in liver and kidney of both species during development showed variations in the number and intensity of the bands in accordance with the age and the species.
